Everything you need to know about the weather in Maryland
More of the same can be expected tomorrow as the trough remains in place. Highs will again be around 80.
The trough will weaken as high pressure builds in Thursday. Rain chances will diminish as we move through the day Thursday and into Thursday night. Highs will be in the low 80s.
The other notable weather feature is the first Tropical Storm of the season. Tropical Storm Alberto formed over the weekend off the South Carolina coast. The storm currently has sustained winds of 40mph and will move away from the coast as it weakens and moves out to sea and will not affect the area.
The moist airmass will also allow another round of showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon. Today’s activity will be more isolated and will be more confined to areas along the bay. Some of these storms may become severe, with large hail and damaging wind being the primary threats. Highs today will push into the low to mid 80s.
This will set the stage for another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Some of the storms may become strong to severe with damaging winds.
The associated cold front will pass through tomorrow afternoon. Ahead of the front, showers and storms will again be possible. Highs tomorrow will be near 80. The front will clear the area during the afternoon, ending the rain chances and ushering in drier air.
An area of low pressure to the southwest will continue to move slowly towards the area today. Ahead of the storm, southerly flow has brought deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico northward. The presence of this moisture will combine with the storm to bring showers and thunderstorms to the state.
Expect several rounds of rainfall, heavy at times through tomorrow night. Rainfall totals of 1-3″ will be possible across the state, with the highest totals just west of the metro area.
Tomorrow will again be very nice, with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Thin clouds will increase tomorrow night and into Sunday, ahead of our next rain maker. Most of Sunday looks dry, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms increasing late in the day. Highs will be near 80.
Expect much of the same tomorrow with highs a little warmer than today, pushing into the low 70s. The stronger winds will decrease through the day tomorrow, setting the stage for a beautiful Saturday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s under sunny skies, with light winds.
Sunday is a transition day, as high pressure moves off the coast and a weak system moves through, possibly providing a late day shower. It will still be warm, with highs in the upper 70s to near 80.
The rain is expected to be more widespread than yesterday and will be heavier as well. Isolated rainfall totals of up to a half inch are possible before the cold front clears the state late tonight into tomorrow morning.
An area of low pressure will develop along the front tonight, moving through the area tomorrow. Rain will once again overspread the state tomorrow, lasting into tomorrow night. Highs are expected to top out in the mid 70s.
